Cruise Control - Chevrolet 2014 Malibu Owner's Manual

Cruise Control

The cruise control lets the vehicle
maintain a speed of about 40 km/h
(25 mph) or more without keeping
your foot on the accelerator. Cruise
control does not work at speeds
below 40 km/h (25 mph).
With the Traction Control System
(TCS) or StabiliTrak system, the
system may begin to limit wheel
spin while you are using cruise
control. If this happens, the cruise
control will automatically disengage.
See Traction Control/Electronic
Stability Control on page 9-32. If a
collision alert occurs when cruise
control is activated, cruise control is
disengaged. See Forward Collision
Alert (FCA) System on page 9-37.
When road conditions allow you to
safely use it again, the cruise
control can be turned back on.
If the brakes are applied, the cruise
control shuts off.
Warning
Cruise control can be dangerous
where you cannot drive safely at
a steady speed. Do not use the
cruise control on winding roads or
in heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous
on slippery roads. On such roads,
fast changes in tire traction can
cause excessive wheel slip, and
you could lose control. Do not use
cruise control on slippery roads.
